I parse text or text files with columnar data defining the goals for a device's performance.

Construct me with an instance of Setups and call the instance of me (not of Setups) to obtain an Xs dict keyed by setup ID. This dict will be the Xs dict already present in the setups instance, updated with the entries I add to it.

Comments (lines beginning with '#', or portions of a line after a '#' following a space) and blank lines are ignored.

Setups are identified by ID = <int>.

Array columns containing only constant values are set by:

   <name> = <value>

Array columns are defined by their names, separated by space, followed by a line beginning with two or more hyphens ('-------'), followed by one or more lines of space-delimited real numbers. All of the numbers in a column may be negated by proceeding the column name with a '-'.

Values in a column may be scaled with:

   scale <name> <scaling factor>

An example that produces, for ID=1, an array with three columns and four rows, i.e., four goal points of three values each, with one of the values (for 'gate') being a constant:

   ID = 1
   gate = 5
   drain          -vds#branch
   --------------------------------
   0.51763632950  6.72268907563
   0.99683484885  11.7647058824
   1.51425659183  15.7983193277
   1.95499047772  18.8235294118

If another table is found with the same ID and column names but, say, gate = 10, its entries will be included in the array for ID=1 with the 'gate' value set to 10 instead of 5.

If just certain setups are desired, provide a list of setup IDs. The returned list will contain the 2-D goal point array(s) in the order of the IDs provided. You can also specify one or more skippedIDs.

Method	__init__	`DataParser(setups)`
Method	assembleXs	Assembles and returns a dict of 2-D arrays keyed by ID, each containing a column vector for each name in its respective nameList.
Method	__call__	Call to get a dict of 2-D goal point arrays, keyed by setup ID. This method does not store the dict anywhere.
